Uncompiling .dlls?

a friend of mine is trying to find a way to decompile a dll file to get the .cpp back- does anyone know if this is possible?

Yes, it's possible and a complete walkthrough is available in the VIP forums. Donate it and you'll see it, it's stickied up top.

I really wish I had money to donate, but I'm living with my wife's parents while in school... could anyone give me a general idea of how to do this that won't cost me money?

There is no stickie in VIP and no YOU cannot decompile a *DLL to get the original coding. Stop buying warp plugins or trying to download them.

you can disassemble a DLL into its assembly code..... not that thats going to be overly useful to anyway

last I checked, this was a help forum, not a place for flamers... it goes to show what quality people are posting in here, and I'll stop asking for help from people like you. If I knew what warp thing you were talking about, I might say more, but you've basically told me all I need to know- you're asses.

And you're an idiot.

Hey, what do you expect if you start calling people names?

This is a help forum for Macros, not plugins, not DLLs not reverse engineering. And anywhere on this sight, with the exception of VIP (and there are exceptions there) is open to flamage. Especially asking something in a place not meant for that subject.

To be blunt, this was a really stupid question. If you could decompile a DLL (or any other ia32 bytecode) and get the source back, there would be absolutely zero software companies today. Think about what you asked. Then think about Microsoft. Then think "if everyone had the source to Windows, would Microsoft be making any money?". Then come back to this forum, which as others were nice enough to point out for you is for macros not and not anything anywhere near the question you asked, and ask again if you can get the source from the DLL.

However, you CAN get the source back from EXEs or DLLs that are compiled with managed extensions and not obfuscated or otherwise protected -- none of MQ2 or any of its plugins are managed, so dont bother.
